CAFE - Literacy Cafe Menu (PHOTO)
Thousands of you have asked to see a photo of The Café Menu in our Classroom. Here is a picture of Joan's Café Menu taken in early November of last year. The Café starts with the black heading titles at the top and the colored sheets below. Beginning the first day of school, we start introducing and teaching the strategies from the Café Menu. Once the strategies are taught and modeled for a few days, we have a child take a blank card from the cache of cards located in a clear pocket on the lower left side of the Café board, write up the strategy and post it in its correct place on the board. The Café Menu board is built together.
Once each child has been assessed, together we look at the Café Menu and set their goal: Comprehension, Accuracy, Fluency or Expand Vocabulary. Each child then takes a small sticky note, writes their name on it and puts it below the Café Menu title that corresponds with their goal.
